Exotic boutonnières
As a real alternative to clove, rose & Co. in the gentleman's buttonhole can these exotic buttonholes be worn anywhere and anytime. But they probably look their best on festive occasions with a tuxedo (if there is no shawl collar) or tails - provided the latter has a buttonhole. Our tip: Have your expert tailor add a buttonhole to the tailcoat.
The boutonnière for the white dinner jacket
The regions of origin of our exotic blooms already provide a subtle hint of the places where they are traditionally worn: in tropical, subtropical, equatorial, and other sunny areas - where the classic men's fashion also includes the white "mess jacket" or the white tuxedo.

The white gardenia
"Our white gardenia is perfect for tuxedos and tailcoats; but it also looks great in the buttonhole of gentlemen at less formal occasions."
Tip: the camellia
The camellia represents sensitivity, romance, and the elegant lifestyle of the Belle Époque. A good choice for attending the opera with La Traviata.

Some time ago, we came across a small cloth-bound book from the year 1913: "The Gentleman - a Gentleman's Breviary
